• W4361028878 abstract "Eulogy for Warren E. Burger J. Michael Luttig Editor’s Note: We are publishing the eulogy Judge Luttig delivered at ChiefJustice Burger’ s funeral as a tribute to the man who helpedfound the Supreme CourtHistoricalSociety in 1974 and who did so much to make it grow andflourish. Ifever there was a life to be celebrated, then his. He looked like the ChiefJustice ofthe United States. But any who think this his foremost quali­ fication misunderstandthe office he occupied and misunderstand the man that he was. In a society often preoccupied with politics and convinced by sound bites, not even the na­ ture of law itself is easily understood, much less that which defines greatness in those who hold our highest judicial office. But history will record, as it already has begun to do, that Warren Burger was one of our great Chief Justices. It will reflect that he was exactly what the nation wanted and needed from the one in whom it reposed this ultimate trust. Those ofus who had the privilege to serve this extraordinary man as his law clerks were well aware that we were in the service of one who rightfully held this highest of office. Albeit from a different vantage point, we saw in him the same that his colleagues on the Court and others in private life saw. We saw a man whose oath was virtually his faith, a man who committed his entire life to the law. We saw a man who took his duties to heart, working literally eighteen to twenty hours a day, seven days a week, year after year, in their performance. We saw a man singularly devoted to the Con­ stitution — his life’s passion. We knew it was high allegory that this man literally handed the Constitution to hundreds ofthousands ofAmeri­ cans during the several year celebration of its bicentennial, just as it was fitting that he shared his birthday with that document. We saw in this man a boundless respect — indeed, a love — for the Supreme Court. And we saw a man whose every action was calcu­ latedto bring to it respect and whojealously pro­ tected that institution with every ounce of his considerable energy. We saw a man who, in an almost uncanny way, seemed guided by history, a man with enor­ mous admiration for the Founding Fathers, who spoke of them in such a way that you believed that, somehow, some way, he really did know each and every one of them. Perhaps most importantly, we saw a man who believed with all his heart that his high office belonged not to him, but to the people, and that he but held it in sacred trust. We saw a man who, because of this belief, in reality was quite humbled by his great office. 2 1994 JOURNAL In him, we saw a man ofjudgment, one who had that rare gift that lies at the core of what was his life’s undertaking, and for which the highest intelligence quotient is no substitute. A man who understood the difference between intellectualism for intellectualism’s sake, on the one hand, and wisdom on the other. We saw a man of uncommon common sense — an intensely practical man, who took pride in his practicality. One who demanded ofhimselfopin­ ions that could be read and understood by the people. One who never hesitated to ask, when it made no sense at all, “Can this really be the law?” We saw a man with a fierce sense ofjustice, a man who, one summer night in London, would not be restrained from entering and breaking up a street brawl when he saw five young thugs beat­ ing a lone other with fists and sticks. It was the Chief Justice. “It just wasn’t right,” he said. In him, we saw a man who eschewed labels and defied categorization. There was no mis­ taking that Warren Burger was independent, that he was his own man in everything he did. There was never a doubt as to where the ChiefJustice stood on an issue, from the need to turn off the lights during the energy crisis (of which we were reminded by hand-scrawled..." @default.
